Liz Jones competed in the Funchal half marathon in Portugal, and achieved her best time for the distance for four years when clocking an impressive 2 hours 28 minutes.

This was Jones’ 20th half-marathon since she started running just over six years ago.

Globetrotting Jones has competed at the half-marathon in 10 overseas countries, and also ran the New York Marathon.

The husband and wife team of Warren and Emma Foster competed in the Sir Titus Salt trail races, which were held at Saltaire near Bradford.

In the marathon race, Warren finished seventh overall and second Over-40 after clocking an impressive 3 hours 33 minutes, which compared well with his marathon best of three hours 25, achieved at York last year.

Emma competed in the 10 kilometre race and finished 34th female in one hour 2 minutes and 32 seconds
